Alpha Alec's Redemption

Chapter 0176



Courage courses through me as I pull myself from the dark abyss that had threatened to swallow me whole. My back straightens and my shoulders pull back as I feel the darkness that had surrounded me slowly dissipate. My vision clears, and Raven's image becomes clearer.

"I need to ask her," I mumble the words that she had told me a while ago.

Taking another deep breath, I mentally prepare myself for the onslaught of the truth.

"Nyx?" I call to her gently.

I didn't know where she was. Nowadays, it's become a common thing for her to disappear. I don't know where she goes, what she does, or even how she manages to just slip from my mind.

"Yes?" I am startled by her voice. If I am being honest, I didn't really expect her to answer me right away.

"Honestly, Nyx, where did you disappear to, and what do you do?"

"Training"

She gives me the one-word answer, as if it's enough answer to both my questions. I want to grill her, but now is not the time.

“We'll get back to that later... something came up. Raven found out that a demi-god named Kaden might be imprisoned here. Do you know him?"

She freezes for a second. If I wasn't so focused and tuned in on her, I would have missed it. Something passes in her eyes and they flash white, but it's too fast for me to read the emotion.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"I thought I had a little bit more time before you found out about him, but there's nothing to be done about that now... Yes. Yes, I do know him." This time I am the one that freezes, as shock zaps through me like electric currents. That is the confirmation I was afraid of.

"But how?" I stammer as my mind races to catch up with what she had just revealed.

"Let's just say that he and I have a history," she snarls in anger, revealing her fangs as a terrifying growl leaves her wolfish lips.

Given her anger, it doesn't take a

genius to put two and two together. Whatever history they have isn't a good one. In fact, it's almost as if she hates him to the core and is completely pissed with him. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it... Not now anyway. Not until you are ready for the truth.”

Before I can say anything or argue with her about not being ready, she shuts me out. I wanted to push, but the last look she gave me before she brought up her mental walls stops me. Gone was the anger, and

instead she looked hurt and sad. Content belongs to

S

I couldn't help but wonder why she would feel that way...and then I remembered the feelings of betrayal, bitterness and hurt I felt when Kaden's name was mentioned. I don't know what happened, but

something tells me that the w?

is

something more to their history; otherwise, why would she took hurt? Something big must have happened for her to have all these feelings towards him. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"What did she say?" Raven's question pulls me back from my thoughts. I turn and stare at her, bringing my focus to her face.

“She knows him, and they have a history... That's all she told me.” I answer while running my hand through my hair.

Raven is quiet for a moment before her curious eyes focus on me. "If she knows Kaden, then that leaves us with two unanswered questions. How old is Nyx? And how the hell does she know a demi-god?"

"And most importantly," I add. "Given her powers, who is she?"
